“There’s nothing like the game live, but the second best is television,” said Lamoriello, whose organization is in negotiations with Time Warner cable about televising a few games.

In addition, Albany Devils executive director Chris Ciceri said that WTMM (104.5 FM) will be the team’s radio home, which carried the River Rats two seasons ago. WROW (590 AM) carried last season’s games for the Rats, who relocated to Charlotte, N.C., after the season.
